The
problem with crazy is that crazy, by itself, has no context. It can be good
crazy, bad crazy ... or crazy
crazy—like it was when my ex-boyfriend sung about me on the radio.

Eighteen-year-old Kate couldn’t be more excited about
finishing high school and spending the summer on tour with her boyfriend’s
band. Her dad showing up drunk at graduation, however, is not exactly kicking
things off on the right foot—and that’s before she finds out about his mystery
illness, certain to end in death.

A mystery illness that she could inherit.

Kate has to convince everyone around her that her
father is sick, not crazy. But who will be harder to convince? Her friends? Or
herself?

The
Problem With Crazy is a story about love
and life; about overcoming obstacles, choosing to trust, and learning how to
make the choices that will change your life forever.

“Nice ass,” a deep voice said. I jumped and
quickly straightened up. Heat rushed to my cheeks as my head spun from left to
right, trying to identify where the noise had come from.

“Sorry,” the
voice came again, only this time I identified its source. A guy stepped out
from behind the tree. He was tall, about six foot, with floppy brown hair,
olive-toned skin and chocolate-coloured eyes, a tiny freckle marring his right
cheek. A small smile was twisted on his lips, showcasing a dimple that made something
twinge inside of me.

“You can’t do
that.” I frowned.

“If you’re going
to bend over in my presence I’m not allowed to compliment you?” The guy stepped
forward, closer to me.

“I was
stretching.” I shot him what I hoped was a withering look. “And you were hiding
behind a tree.”

“I was relaxing
behind a tree.” He stepped closer again and I saw the light dancing in his
eyes. “But I do realise I might have come across a little sleazy. I meant it as
a compliment. You have a great ass. Much better than some of the others I’ve
seen around here.”

“You do this all
the time?”

“Depends on what
you mean by ‘this’.”

“Standing behind trees, and checking
out peoples asses.”
